Almost the end of the year, and the Senators are still advocating for some things, as seen here in their latest biweekly report! You can also find our previous biweekly reports here, or in the Senators’ blog.

A few highlights:

  • Discussed the potential plans for the Fall Reading Break Policy.
  • Discussed the shortcomings of mental health service provisions on campus, which will culminate in an open letter directed to the Deputy Provost for Student Life and Learning (Ollivier Dyens).
  • Discussed how we plan to keep the Administration accountable in following through with the upcoming recommendations from the Provost’s Taskforce on Indigenous Education (coming out in June 2017).

Minutes of each Senate Caucus meeting is available upon request via email.

If you’re interested in attending a Senate Caucus meeting to learn more about what the Senators do, feel free to email me (the UA Secretary) to get more information. Senate Caucus meetings are held every Monday at 6:30 PM in the SSMU Office.

Hi everyone! I’m in charge of the administrative side of things for the UA portfolio, and I’ve been loving this job for the past year and a half. I moved from Jakarta, Indonesia, 3 years ago, and am now going into my last year in Sociology and International Development Studies. I spend a lot of time in the SSMU Building, as I’m also involved with the Peer Support Centre (PSC), which is a super great drop-in listening service on the fourth floor (check us out!). I have a slight obsession with classical music, geography, languages, Wikipedia, and Reddit.
